Note : The expected length of answer and time taken under different forms of questions shall be as follows :

S.NO.

Form of Question VSA Type SA-I Type SA-II Type E/LA Type

Expected Length One word to one sentence 20 to 30 words 30 to 40 words 70 to 80 words

Expected time for each question 2 Minutes 5 Minutes 7 Minutes 15 Minutes Total Time

Total Expected time 10 Minutes 35 Minutes 84 Minutes 45 Minutes 174 Minutes

This is only an approximation. Though the students are advised to be as near the approximation as possible the actual length, however may vary. As the total time is calculated on the basis of the number of questions required to be answered and the lengths of their anticipated answers, it would therefore, be advisable for the candidates to manage their time properly by avoiding details not required. 4. Scheme of Options (1) There will be no overall choice (2) Internal choice (either/or type) in three questions is to given in questions testing higher mental abilities in the following types of questions : (i) One in two marks questions (SA-I Type) (ii) One in three marks questions (SA-II Type) (iii) One in five marks questions (E/LA Type) 5. Guidelines for evaluation in organic chemistry units and numericals. i) Organic Chemistry Units : a. Two conversions involving not more than 2 steps each 2 marks

OR One application question on conversions involving four unknown compounds

b. c. d. e. f. g.

Two distinctions IUPAC nomenclature Reasoning questions Mechanism Name Reactions Stereochemistry

2 marks 1 mark 2 marks 1 mark 2 marks 2 marks 12 marks

ii) Numericals Weightage of about 12 marks in total has been assigned to numericals. 6. Weightage to difficulty level of questions S.No. 1. 2. 3. Estimated difficulty level Easy Average Difficult Percentage 15 70 15

A question may vary in difficulty level from individual to individual. As such, the approximation in respect of each question will be made by the paper setter on the basis of general expectation from the group as a whole taking the examination. This provision is only to make the paper balanced in nature rather than to determine the pattern of marking at any stage.

CLASS XII Time : 3 Hours Max. Marks : 70

General Instructions (i) All questions are compulsory (ii) Marks for each question are indicated against it. (iii) Question number 1 to 5 are very short-answer question, each of one mark. Answer these in one word or about one sentence each. (iv) Question numbers 6 to 12 are short answer questions of two marks each. Answer these in about 30 words each. (v) (vi) Question number 13 to 24 are short answer questions of 3 marks each. Answer these in about 40 words each. Question numbers 25 to 27 are Long-answer questions of 5 marks each. Answer these in about 70 words each.

(vii) Use log tables if necessary. Calculators are not permitted. 1. How many effective sodium ions are located at the centers of faces of a unit cell in a sodium chloride crystal? 2. A reaction : Reactant
